He used to piny on the grid iron for Oregon and knows what the solid support of Oregon’s fight which never dies means to the Oregon men on the field. Oregon has a spirit that, is too good and too strong to die. Hez.dok, who wns not an Oregon man as Huntington is, catne to know the Oregon Spirit for what it was. lie always insisted on yell prnetiro as well as practice for I lie men actually to do the fighting. This Spirit will do much for Oregou this year and the new men who have never appeared for Oregon before must know what is behind Oregon teams when they go onto the field. The men on the , bleachers must la' there with the same fight as in past when Oregon's reputa tion for a never-die fight was made Otherwise the men will do no better for Oregon than they did for the other Uni versities or even the- high schools from which some of them came- And these men will never have really played for Oregon with the old Oregon behind them. Oregon has been fortunate by high entrance requirements in securing a strong freshman class, not as large as many University entering classes but an older, better4 trained, and energetic frosli class. The pep is in these men. la't them turn out tomorrow for a real yell practice where pep will be turned into unified support for Oregon. Ore gon men will be out strong.

I his lakes no cognizance of the possible number enrolled in the years course in nursing, the registration statistics of th.se being still incomplete, nor of the University women doing special labor atory work tilting them for laboratory assistants in army camp hospitals. It would seem not at all improbable to estimate the number of women who are taking wnc course* at 20 per cent of the pat women enrolled And almost every University woman who Is not en rolled in one of these definite war courses Is shifting her college schedule j so that she tnny get more of the prac tical courses which will help her to take tho place of a man in the world of business and industry, E.

Something must he done to put Hunt ington into “On Oregon” before Satur day afternoon WALTER WTCLURE III BIG METZ PUSH Famous Oregon Track Man May Return to U. S. as Instructor. Captain Walter McClure, a University graduate of 101.‘I, whose home is one mile north of Eugene on tin river road and who him seen service in France with Pershing’s troops since a year ago last July, in a letter to his mother, Mrs. Mar tha Hennett, tells of some of his experi ences at the front. Unptuin McClure w> s wounded in the left hand during the drive oil Soissons. Extracts from his letters dated August 25 say: "We have just come* out of the line and are building up for another lug light. I have my old company back. You see I kept the battalion’s till I took sick, had a fever of 10,‘S and pulse of 10<l hut wouldn’t let anyone evacuate me as we were in the front line and no one else could run the battalion. Then after we got moved out our old major eamc hack ami 1 was evacuated yesterday. They told me to get a good rest so I’m going as far back as I can, rest and visit till I’m needed. I’m all right now excepting that 1 am weak. You see my work was hard for a well man. Now 1 think I’ll he aide to loaf for three weeks but may not. Back from Hospital. “Yesterday 1 came hack from the hos pital feeling fine," he says in the letter written September 1, "but doubt if 1 have iuy full strength buck. I understand that we are to go into action again viry shortly. This time 1 uni sure that we will get into Germany itself. The ground is difficult to attack over but all wnl be made as easy as possible for the infantry. ‘ Am enclosing a few items for my memory book. Gen. Pershing is shown talking to a few of the officials of this division before we went up to Amiens front. I do not show very clear, but eau recognize myself. "1 still have hopes of getting home by Christmas or soon after, but these hopes get weaker each day. Am sure tin war will be over in another year," Ou tieptyniber t> lie writes: Moving for Attack. "\Ve have been moving up to attack. 1 don’t kuow whether we go pver" in the morning or not. We are now stationed in a big wood about five miles behind the i lines. My company will he in the front , lines but 1 would rather be there than , anywhere, as 1 am sure 1 have the best company (others must think so too) i After we have gone three or four miles i we will then lie passed by other eoiupan- ; ies and then we will he m reserve for , a while and perhaps for good, , ■ We will not he in the attack as long this tune as before, as then are lots of i oilier soldiers here. We are near "Seieli piey" and will attaek in the direction of Metz. 1 don’t know how far we go bet ' doubt if we try and taki Metz this win- i ter. We are not expeeling very heavy lighting the first day. The wire will be our main trouble. i New Lieutenant i\H|iorls, Tins moruiug now lieutenant re- ( ported for duty. lie formerly lived in Portland and attended Willamette 1 nt vrrslty or Salem. His name Is Dutro. “We have hud a pretty hard life this | last week sleeping in woods with one | ^ Idanket. and its beastly cold and rainy of nights now. Still verj few are com- j plaining and but little sickness. After this fi:jht we should get n h'ug rest and , then I’ll take my leave of absence and i possibly be sent horns as an Instructor." ; Miss Hair tioes to Portland. Miss Moselle llalr. secretary of the ex tension division, went to Portland Tues day afternoon where she will hate charge of the registration in the Portland Uni versity of Oregon Kxtenslon classes this week, trasses 111 tile extension depart ment in Portland will begin next Mon- j day. Miss Hair will probably return to Kugene Monday FAR ■ GAMES CUT OFF MILE Government Time Limit On Absences Affects Foot ball Program The general policy of sports for the >S. A. T. C. outlined by the war department committee on education and special train ing, was received yesterday morning at the University. The limits put on the time of absence of the men from college will mean that the game scheduled for a week from Saturday with Idaho cannot he played, since the trip would take sev eral days. It means also that the game planned to tuke place Thanksgiving day between the University of Oregon and the University of Southern California at Los Angele% cannot take place and nei ther can the team make the trip to Ber keley on November 2 where they were to contest with the University of Cali fornia. Other games to take the places 'of these will be scheduled, said Graduate Manager Dean Walker yesterday and in place of the Idaho game it is probable that the University will play Leo (“Tick”) Malarky’s Vancouver Barracks team on that date. Other games will probably be scheduled with the Multno mah team, some of the shipyards teams, O. A. C- and the Marines. Ruling Applies Only to S. A. T. C. “This new ruling will mean that since it applies only to the S. A. T. ('. and not to the service teams most of the games will be played in Eugene and Port land,” Mr. Walker explained. The ruling states that athletic sports as formerly pursued involving extended trips and specialized training are incon sistent with the soldiers' program of drill and study. Athletic directors and professors of physical education can he iet'ii iri connection with intramural sports and for the assistance of the officers in charge of military training. ‘‘This precludes for the S. A. T. C. members.” orders go on to say, “such football or other schedules ns is custo mary among colleges. All practice for football and other sports must he in rec reation periods and not decrease the time allowed for drill and study. “It is desired no games involving ab sence for a night be placed before No vember 1, and that during this period the {.imes lie confined to intramural except for local Saturday afternoon games. Af ,er November 1. not more than two over sight games may he permitted and fur ougliN for the purpose may lie granted for members of teams, providing that no furlough shall he granted to soldiers not maintaining satisfactory standards of nilitary and academic work. No trips nvolving an absence longer than from ["riilay night to Sunday night will be ap iroved.” This ruling was made to assure no in erruption in the academic work of the student soldiers, for their courses are llready crowded to the limit and an ab icnee of a few days would cause too nueh of a break into their work.
